Started in 2016, Foundation for Thought and Ethics (FTE) Books is an imprint of Discovery Institute Press. The imprint carries forward the work of the Foundation for Thought and Ethics (1981-2016) in producing thoughtful — and thought-provoking — books designed to “expand the freedom to learn to young people, especially in the life-directing matters of worldview, moral reasoning, virtue, and conscience, and to return the right of informed consent to families in the education of their children.”

FTE Books is directed by Jon Buell, who founded the Foundation for Thought and Ethics in 1981. FTE Books is based out of Discovery Institute’s regional office in Dallas, Texas, which is staffed by Pam Bailey.
